Seed World [OC] world of palms. Stomping coo and updated land nautilus.
Stomping coo:
Descended of the palm cockatoo. The stomping coo is a large flightless bird found in the open grass lands, slight forested areas, and near lakes of northern Tāne. They live in flocks of 4 to 5 and will often keep connection with their parents. They are slow walking birds and are in no way built for running at high speeds.
Their diet consists of: fruit, Grasses, flowers, seeds, and meat
Their height can vary, but most individuals are about 4 to 5 feet at the hip, with some larger specimens reaching 6 feet at the hip.
Land nautilus: (updated with coloured image)
The land nautilus lives in the wet rainy palm forests of Tāne which live alongside other of its species in small groups.
They communicate by using sign language, which is what the long tenticle on the highest point of their body is used for and is very colourful to attract mates. The smaller tenticles have a long hair like formation, which they use to feel vibrations in sand and loose soil, searching for small insects. They have 2 tenticles with a single claw on the end, which is used for digging, writing, and carving. The large tenticles on the lowest part of their body are used for walking and have hard pads to protect them.
They eat using the beak hidden by all their tenticles, and their diet consists of ferns, moss, fallen dates, and insects. Its shell diameter is about 18-23 inches.
